Chapter 307 Death Knight: I don't like fighting, so I have to stop fighting
Bedford Dockyard, East London.

The port is shrouded in a veil of mist at night. Whenever the mist slowly spreads to the sea, a gentle breeze will sweep it to the shore, preventing it from spreading outward.

This fog is only in Lundang!

The moonlight shines through the light mist onto the surface of Haikou, forming a hazy silver halo. The ships in the distance are looming, emitting faint light, like stars lost in a dream.

The fog returned to the port with the sea breeze, bringing with it waves of salty sea smells. The quiet harbor was deserted at night, with only the sound of gentle waves hitting the ships and the sound of distant whistles approaching the shore.

Very quiet.

Whenever night falls, there are always some unknown corners where lights are turned on, figures sway, and people plot quietly.

On the sea not far from the shipyard, a cruise ship marked with the Bedford family crest slowly left the port and headed silently towards the dark and silent sea.

There were not many tourists on the cruise ship, only a few important guests.

The host, Bedford Bedford, held a banquet and specially invited several friends who were not really friends. They chatted all night long, only talking about business and not about family or national affairs.

The Bedford family is one of the fourteen Tulip families and has made certain achievements in the fields of business and magic.

In terms of business, the Bedford family owns the largest shipyard in London, with a huge industrial chain, and provides food and clothing for millions of dock workers. Its influence covers all areas, and it has no shortage of friends everywhere.

In the Windsor wizarding world, the Bedford Family's greatest masterpiece is Bedford Bedford, a legendary wizard in the Ministry of Magic. He is a low-key man who focuses on making money. He never expresses his opinions and always stands on the side of the Queen, making him a staunch royalist.

The three deputy ministers of the Windsor Ministry of Magic, Orb, Yvette and Alan, are legendary wizards. Among the senior executives, Planck, Born, Hermann, Celeste and Bedford are also legendary wizards. There are eight legendary wizards alone. The country's strong national strength is worthy of the name of an old great power.

Moreover, most of these legendary wizards came from the Tulip Family, the former Order of the Tulip, which shows that the royal family monopolized every aspect of Windsor’s rule.

Even if one of the two deputy ministers, Orb and Allen, betrayed her and the other disappeared, the Queen was able to fill the gap in the shortest time possible. On paper, she was extremely powerful, with a long foundation, and she was unfathomable inside and out.

There is a reason why the Windsor royal family has been able to strike a balance and resist the pressure from the Vatican for so many years.

Let's get back to the topic. The camera returns to the cruise ship. In the beautifully decorated lobby conference room, Bedford, wearing a wizard's robe, is having a pleasant conversation with several guests.

These guests are all from the Tulip family.

Barney of the Boswells, Rupert of the Wilsons, First of the Julians, the Woodsons, the Cavendishes, the Spencers.

Including the Bedford family, the organizer of the banquet, seven of the fourteen Tulip families were present, monopolizing half of Windsor.

Considering that the traitor Orb caused the Patino family to be hidden away, there are only thirteen members of the nominal Tulip family left. Seven is greater than six, and the seven families on the cruise ship have an absolute advantage in the voting process.

Not only that, there is also the legendary wizard Born from the Ministry of Magic on the cruise ship. He has a very good relationship with Planck, and his appearance here can be regarded as Planck's arrival as well.

Everyone looked around at their teammates and felt that with a strong army and a strong team, they could accomplish something, and they all thought that this was a sure thing.

The organizer Bedford didn't think so. There were still too few guests and the seats were seriously vacant. There were even several Tulip families who had fantasies about the Queen.

In addition, each of the families present has their own ideas, and it would be too risky to be a scattered group.

For example, Barney from the Boswell family, who is too obsessed with money, is probably an undercover agent sent by the Queen;

Rupert of the Wilson family is competing for the next prime minister and is in urgent need of political capital. He is probably an undercover agent sent by the Queen.
First of the Julian family, who sells lottery tickets during the day and tobacco at night, is a secretary on a daily basis. He may not be an undercover agent sent by the Queen, but he is always there in nine out of ten lively occasions, and he is more likely to be there tonight, so it doesn't matter whether he is there or not;
The Woodson family used to be very powerful. Deputy Minister Allen was from the Woodson family. But now it is not so powerful. The pillar Allen is missing, and only a few small fish and shrimps are left, most of which are scraps that the Queen does not like.

After counting and considering, only Cavendish and Spencer are reliable. After many years of business cooperation, Bedford family always follows the lead in everything. Bedford is very confident in these two companies.

However, these two families do not study magic and only have considerable influence in the secular world. In the magic world, they are ignored by everyone.

What should have come didn’t come, and what shouldn’t have come all came!
"Didn't the Landau family come?"

"How could Austin come? He is the queen's lover. Every time the queen speaks, he takes the lead and rushes to the front. He is not the same as us." Rupert said sarcastically.

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

The Wilson family and the Landau family have been at odds recently. When Aston checked the accounts, he extorted money from the Wilson family. When the Landau family was choosing an heir, Rupert publicly exposed Wayne's undercover identity.

The two sides went back and forth, and it was Auston's turn to make another move. At the critical moment of selecting the prime ministerial candidate, he cast his precious vote for Rupert's political enemy Winston Chute.

Whenever Rupert thought of this, he would get furious. What was the relationship between Auston and the Queen? They had definitely had sex, and this relationship had never been broken.

Even if Rupert had great abilities, he couldn't persuade the Queen like Auston did. He dared to bet that if Winston Chute became the Prime Minister of Windsor next year, it must be because of Auston's secret efforts.

Damn this playboy who only knows how to cheat on women!
As Rupert finished speaking, Barney said, "Who said it wasn't true? Austin is too arrogant. He looks down on us colleagues. His wife is the high priest of the Church of Nature, and his son's lover is the high priest of the Church of Moonlight. We are not of the same rank. How can we be qualified to eat at the same table with him?"

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

"The last time MI6 provided accurate files, that old man Cumming swore that Austin's illegitimate child was not Austin's biological son. Bah, look at the appearance of the father and son, and then look at the women of the father and son, they are obviously his biological son." Barney became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the end he slammed the table.

The Boswell family is based on business, focusing on forestry and mining, and has always been thinking about the arms industry. They have had several competitive conflicts with the Landau family in business and they do not get along well with each other.

Putting aside business competition, let’s just look at the family heirs.

Barney’s son Owen is a talented person, a young man with great potential at a young age and a versatile business talent that makes Barney very satisfied.

It's not that I'm afraid of comparing products, but I'm afraid of comparing people. Compared with Aston's son Wayne, Irving is not good in this or that. He is just a bad boy who spends his time eating, drinking, gambling, and playing with secretaries.

Even when playing secretary, he can't compare to Wayne!
Not to mention playing with women. Look at the kind of women Wayne plays with. She is the high priestess during the day and his own sister at night. He is far ahead on the road of being a scum.

Of course, Auston is stronger in this regard. Although he doesn't have a biological sister, he has a queen.

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

When the topic turned to Auston, the voices in the conference room suddenly became louder. Except for the First family who came to join in the fun and the Woodson family whose influence was declining, the other four families all criticized and condemned Auston, expressing their deep hatred for him.

For a time, they regarded each other as close friends, and because of their common enemy, their relationship became much closer.

Including the organizer Bedford, he was actually very dissatisfied with Auston and agreed very much with Barney's evaluation that Auston was too arrogant.

There are two high priests and a queen in the family. They have magic and power. They are arrogant and betrayed the Tulip family. They are traitors.

"Actually, that's not the case. Even though Austin didn't come, it doesn't mean he is loyal to the Queen." Bonn, who had been silent, spoke slowly.

There were only two legendary wizards in the field. As soon as Born opened his mouth, everyone gave him face and stopped their envy and jealousy, wanting to hear his opinion.

"The Landau family is not a monolithic entity. Wayne, the family heir, is extremely ambitious. He is not satisfied with Auston's long-term oppression and has been making small moves all the time. He cannot speak out because of Auston's suppression." Bonn looked mysterious, as if he had inside information.

Everyone was curious and waited for him to continue.

No one refuted Born's words. If their eldest son were hugging the high priest in his arms, there would be two voices in the house, one father shouting and the other son howling.

"I have investigated secretly and the intelligence is reliable. Auston is very loyal to the Queen, but his son Wayne is not. We can win him over."

Born's intelligence came from Planck, who mentioned some of it vaguely. With his own imagination, the plot was very rich: "Do you understand? Auston is choosing sides. On the surface, he pretends to be obedient to the queen, but secretly lets his son reveal completely opposite information to the outside world. He is only loyal to the Landau family."

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this principle applies everywhere.

Especially in times of chaos and war, old families with a strong foundation will invest in all parties. No matter who wins in the end, these old families will not lose.

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

You don't have to make sense!
Everyone ignored First and exchanged opinions.

"Auston is quite calculating. He lets us rush in the front while he eats from the back."

"I hate fence-sitters the most. They seem to win-win, but in fact they offend both sides and usually end up in a bad way."

"You can't say that. The Landau Family has two high priests. It would be best if we can win over the enemy. But if we can't, the Landau Family can choose not to help either of us."

After some discussion, everyone decided on a preliminary strategy. They didn't like Auston, but if they could win him over, they would still be good friends and the past grudges could be forgotten with a laugh.

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

"Bohn, is your intelligence reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable, at least much more reliable than MI6."

"Well, let's talk about the other Tulip families next..."

Of the fourteen Tulip families, minus the seven present, the fence-sitter Landau family, and the hidden Patino family, there are only five left, namely the Collins family, the Fleming family, the Muller family, the Turner family, and the Chute family.

Among them, the Collins, Muller and Turner families specialize in the field of magic. The Collins family has the Deputy Minister Yvette, the Muller family has the commander of the Holy Light Knights Herman, and although the Turner family has only one insignificant Frank, he is highly regarded by the Queen and is the best expert in hell studies in Windsor. It is almost impossible to compete with these three families.

The remaining Fleming family and Chute family devoted themselves to the military and political fields, and their family members' magical attainments were average, so it was not a big problem.

"Everyone!"

The organizer Bedford looked at everyone and said solemnly, "We are all adults, and you all understand the truth. I will not waste any more time on nonsense. Let's be frank. Everyone is willing to come here today not for anything else, but just for the benefit of the family."

"You may have other ideas, but you can see that the queen is pressing us aggressively. We have our family behind us, so there is no way out."

"If even we are wavering, the Tulip Family is doomed to be only glorious for a short time, and will be divided and surrounded by the Queen, divided again and surrounded again. By then, each of them will have no chance of winning!"

Bedford didn't talk about any big principles, but he still spoke a lot. Everyone either agreed or remained silent, and no one expressed any objection.

"It's not difficult to control Yvette with our strength. Hermann is a bit troublesome. He is the leader of the Knights of the Holy Light and is stationed in St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle all year round. We must do some operations if we want to take him down." Bedford said maybe and looked at Bonn. The latter didn't say anything, probably agreeing.

As for Frank, the expert in hell studies, Bedford did not mention him. Frank's theoretical research is very weird, and his own ability is average. He can be handled by sending any gunman. There is nothing to discuss.

"Once the fourteen Tulip families are gathered, we can sit down and have a good chat with the Queen!"

Bedford outlined a beautiful blueprint: "I know what everyone is thinking. My idea is the same as everyone else. No one really wants to rebel. We stand together only to protect family rights. We supported the queen before and we will support the queen in the future. That's all."

"That makes sense!"
First's voice was drowned out by the crowd, and this time he was not alone.

"Bedford, there's one thing you haven't mentioned. What do the two new deputy ministers say?"

"They are Franks, not Windsors, and no one in the Ministry supports them, except the Queen."

Bedford said unconcernedly: "Don't look at them yelling fiercely. When the crisis comes, they run faster than anyone else. The Queen believes that they are the biggest mistake and have brought us many allies."

According to Bedford's plan, he would first control Yvette and Hermann, and then win over the Landau family, who were on the fence. The fourteen Tulip families would work together to go to the Ministry of Magic and sit down and have a good talk with the Queen. The Queen was so kind that she would definitely understand everyone's difficulties.

His plan was a little unreliable and risky, but since the family's interests came first, everyone thought it was worth a try.

As long as they can get Yvette and Hermann, they are willing to give it their all.

boom!
The door of the conference hall was kicked open, and three figures, two men and one woman, slowly walked in.

The three men were dressed in wizard robes, and the man leading them was the new commander of the Royal Guard, Baron Kimo. He had black hair and black eyes, reflecting the light of the crystal chandelier, and his black pupils flashed with a deep chill.

The remaining man and woman were about thirty years old, also new arrivals, the newly appointed Deputy Ministers of the Ministry of Magic, Annick and Shady.

When the two deputy ministers arrived in Lundan, Baron Kimo was also transferred from other places to Lundan. On the surface, the two deputy ministers were from Frank, but the real situation was difficult to say. The most likely possibility was that they were high-level thugs trained by the royal family outside to deal with emergencies.

Such as the rebellion of the Ministry of Magic and the Tulip family's disobedience.

When they saw the three people appear, everyone was shocked. Like Bonn, they raised their hands to cover their faces and pretended that they did not exist.

Putting this funny guy aside, although the others were terrified and suspected that there was a traitor in the field, their expressions were still calm, as if they did not take the two legendary wizards seriously.

Damn traitor, you informed the Queen of the meeting location without even listening to the content of the meeting. You deserve your family to be dismembered by the Queen.

Bedford was secretly annoyed, but his face was calm. He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Deputy Minister, you came at the right time. How about coming over and having a drink together?"

"Bedford!"

Douglas looked at them coldly, and then he swept his eyes over everyone and called out their names one by one: "Barney, Rupert, First... You are so loyal to the Queen!"

"Baron Kimo, I don't know what you are talking about. We are just having a party on a cruise ship. How can that be disloyal to the Queen?"

Bedford didn't know Douglas' true identity and didn't give him face. He only knew that his teammates were unreliable and needed a strong voice to take the lead, so he changed his usual modesty and low-key attitude and said firmly: "Or is it that the country has a new regulation that during wartime, private gatherings are prohibited at night, and those who violate it will be charged with treason?"

"The country doesn't have strict rules for ordinary people, but you are the Tulip family. Not only do you hold private gatherings, but you also secretly go out to sea. It's hard to say whether this involves treason. The Queen needs to make the judgment."

Douglas sneered and said, "Come back with me. The banquet here is too shabby. The Queen has specially prepared a grand banquet for you."

"Baron Kimo, is this really what the Queen meant? You are not making this up!"

Bedford muddied the waters: "Ever since you entered Buckingham Palace, the Queen has changed her kindness. I have reason to suspect that you have controlled the Queen and these two deputy ministers. When will the Franks be able to give orders to us Windsors?"

Bedford bit the traitor and his tough attitude gave his teammates a shot in the arm. Everyone knew there was no way out and nodded in agreement.

Born thought that this was going to be troublesome. If he had known this earlier, he would have asked Gangplank to come over and stand next to Bedford, confronting the two legendary wizards, Annick and Shadi.

Two on two, no fear in high-end games.

The rest of the people rushed forward, but Kimo was only a golden wizard, so he could be easily taken down.

After controlling Kimo and finally bringing him to Buckingham Palace, the Queen is kind and intelligent, and she will definitely understand that the discord between the monarch and her subjects is all due to Kimo's mischief.

Thinking of this, Bonn felt that this plan was feasible. He said with a look of embarrassment, "Baron Kimo, the magic barrier set up by the two deputy ministers is very sophisticated. It is so sophisticated that we did not notice the cruise ship rushing in. But, are you sure that the ambush outside can rush in in time to rescue you?"

Douglas sneered.

Bon waved his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong. I am loyal to the Queen and have no second thoughts. I am just worried about your safety. That's all."

"Master Born, the people outside really can't rush in, but it's my intention that they can't come in. There are some secrets they shouldn't know." Douglas raised the corners of his mouth, watching Born's performance and found it extremely funny.

"secret?!"

Seeing that Douglas was confident and had other cards up his sleeve besides the two new deputy ministers, he could not help but back down.

The legendary wizard is like this, a strong fence-sitter. If he can win, he will attack with heavy punches. If he can't win, he will just sit back and do nothing. When he is undecided, he will retreat behind everyone and start worshiping God. He mainly plays a steady game.

Bedford: (_)
You old thing, what are you doing standing behind me?
Bedford was almost pissed off to death by the coward. Although he was also a coward, it didn't affect the pot calling the kettle black. He glared at Bonn and said to him, "Baron Kimo, what secret are you referring to? Is it your eloquent mouth or the invisible air?"

Bedford: The secret hasn't been revealed yet, what are you afraid of?
Bonn: This is called showing weakness to the enemy, it’s a tactic!

"Hahaha----"

Douglas laughed loudly and clapped his hands twice: "Open your eyes and see clearly. Today I will let you die clearly!"

After the popping sound, Douglas placed one hand on his chest facing the air and bowed slightly, looking very humble.

The same goes for the two new deputy ministers. A closer look reveals fear in their eyes. Bowing at a 90-degree angle cannot be considered humble, but it is already considered servile.

Everyone stepped back, and Bonn hurriedly protected Bedford in front of him, his eyes fixed on the air.

At the same time, the legendary wizard's powerful perception spread out, guarding against sneak attacks that might occur at any time in the surroundings.

Ten seconds later.

"..." x3
"..."xN
Douglas raised his head, and the people on both sides stared at each other. First couldn't help but laughed out loud on the spot.

With this smile, the atmosphere of a war disappeared, and Bedford's people immediately stopped panicking and burst into laughter.

"Baron Kimo, you are such a great actor!"

"Where did this clown come from? He's from another place. He really made me laugh."

"Look at him, he's sweating all over!"

“Hahaha————”
Amidst the laughter, it was Douglas' turn to get nervous. They had agreed that clapping was the secret signal, so how come the Death Knight was nowhere to be seen?

Have I been cheated?

"Jiejiejiejie————"

A hearty laugh suddenly broke out in the sarcastic laughter, and a dark portal shone coldly in front of Douglas, and the Death Knight rode into the field on his undead warhorse.

Everyone retreated one after another, their hearts were chilled, and they tried their best to squeeze into the back row to give the C position to their accomplices.

"Sir Knight, you are finally here."

Douglas felt a little resentful. Just now, he really thought that the Death Knight would stand him up.

It happened once, and twice, and every time he played tricks on people. The Death Knight's personality is too difficult to deal with.

"The portal was jammed, so it took a while."

Wayne casually threw out an unreliable excuse, and the skull face was flickering with white light, looking down at the Tulip family members on the field.

He was not Austin and had limited knowledge of the Tulip family, so even though there were many talented people present, he didn't know many of them.

"Death Knight, why are you here?"

Bedford was sweating profusely, his heart sank. While feeling sad, he was also curious about how much the Queen had paid to persuade the God-chosen Knight.

Just open your mouth, the Tulip Family will give you as much as the Queen can, and double it.

"Hehehe, don't be afraid, everyone. I'm just an ally of the Queen. I'm not here to target you."

Wayne pulled out the Shadow Nightmare and pointed it at the two legendary mages: "The goddess is kind-hearted and does not want to see meaningless death. As a death knight, I am determined to implement the goddess's oracle, so..."

"I don't like fighting in my life, so I have to end it. I came here today to mediate."

"Give me some face and go to the Queen's banquet. Don't fight, okay?"

"..."xN
Look at what you said. Put the artifact away quickly. How can we refuse you?
Everyone sighed in their hearts. The appearance of the Death Knight meant that the outcome was already decided. No matter how many tricks they had, they could only raise their hands in surrender and go to the Queen's banquet to await their fate.

"It makes sense!"

First nodded repeatedly and quickly came to Douglas. To be honest, he was the undercover agent.
